BREAKING NEWS UPDATES FOR Dec 25th

Ukraine is heavily reliant on U.S. and Western aid for its air defenses, which are designed to knock out Russian attacks. Kyiv officials have long said they need more air defense systems and the interceptors fired at the incoming missiles to shield its territory, but there is uncertainty whether the support will continue under President-elect Donald Trump's new administration.

The Financial Times reported earlier this month that Trump intended to keep the flow of aid into Ukraine going once he strides back into the White House next month. Newsweek has reached out to the President-elect's transition team for comment via email.

Ukraine has traditionally marked Christmas on January 7, along with Russia. Last year, many Orthodox Christians in Ukraine celebrated on December 25 for the first time, shifting away from Russian customs toward Western conventions and widely seen as a snub to Russia and its orthodox church, which has endorsed Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

What To Know
Early on December 25, Russia attacked facilities propping up Ukraine's fuel and energy sector facilities, using both missiles and drones, according to Ukrainian authorities.

Moscow used 184 drones and missiles, Kyiv's air force said, including two North Korean-made KN-23 ballistic missiles, 12 Kalibr cruise missiles launched from the Black Sea, and more than 100 uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). Ukraine intercepted 113 of the targets, including 55 cruise missiles and 54 drones, with another 52 UAVs failing to reach their intended locations, according to the air force.

The attacks homed in on energy facilities across the country, including the northeast Kharkiv region, central Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava areas and Ivano-Frankivsk, in western Ukraine. Russia said it had targeted "critical power infrastructure facilities ensuring operation of Ukrainian defense industry enterprise," and that the objectives of the strike had "been achieved."
